Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

17 - (3x + 5) = 3x - 6

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute negative:                   17 - 3x - 5 = 3x - 6
  2. Add 3x on both sides:               17 - 5 = 6x - 6
  3. Combine like terms:                  12 = 6x - 6
  4. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                            18 = 6x
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                     3 = x
  6. Rewrite:                                      x = 3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    17 - (3(3) + 5) = 3(3) - 6
  2. Multiply:                               17 - (9 + 5) = 9 - 6
  3. Add:                                     17 - 14 = 9 - 6
  4. Subtract:                              3 = 3

Here we see that 3 does indeed equal 3.

∴ x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

17 - 1(3x + 5) = 3x - 6

17 − 3 − 5 = 3x − 6

12 - 3x = 3x - 6 subtract five

-3x + 12 = 3x - 6 rearrange terms

-3x = 3x - 18 subtract twelve

-6x = 18 subtract negative three

divide by negative six

x = 3

What is the total surface area of this rectangular pyramid?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: 225 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the area of the 4 triangle and the area of the rectangle and thereafter we add everything together.

Area of triangle 1 = 1/2 base × height

= 1/2 × 12 × 8

=96/2

=48

Area of triangle 2 = area of triangle 1= 48( because the opposite triangle are congruent so they have equal base and height)

Area of triangle 3 = 1/2×base×height

= 1/2 × 6 ×9.5

= 57/2

=28.5

Area of triangle 4=Area of triangle 3 = 57 (the opposite triangle are congruent and so they have the same base and height hence the same area)

Area of the rectangle = length×breadth

=12 × 6 =72

Total surface area = addition of all the areas of the triangles and the rectangle

Total surface area= 48+48+57+57+72 = 225

Therefore, the total surface area is 225 square feet

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2,12) and (4,20)
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(20 - 12) / (4 - 2)

8 / 2

= 4

So, the slope is 4.
